A Word From
Our Founder:
Welcome! It is so good to connect with you.
Going into our 10th year here at Sama is a testament to your participation, you being willing to take good care of yourself and share the value of what we do with the people around you. You do so much and we are thrilled to be a part of your progress. Thank you for being here.
When I founded Sama Yoga Center over ten years ago, little did I know what. a profound impact the studio would make in our lives and in our community. From building relationships to helping us all breathe a little easier, from decompressing to amping our joy, from enhancing our strength to philanthropic service, our studio is a haven and it wouldn’t be here without you. Winning awards every year fortifies the work we are doing, and hearing from you - how your time here at Sama impacts your life and relationships - this is the most moving and inspiring experience. It makes every moment worth it.
I am grateful for all of the care and support that I’ve been able to receive and deliver. Building this yoga studio in this community is very special. It has been an an incredible journey for me and all of the people I’ve had the pleasure to connect with. I feel so fortunate to contribute because it seems we need these things, especially now.
My vision offers holistic, nourishing, safe, mindful yoga and fitness techniques through our unique Sama lens with all of the benefits of science and tradition right here, for you.
It is so exciting that people travel from all over Fairfield County, Westchester County, NYC and beyond to train and practice with us. I have a never-ending quest for service and knowledge and giving back. We partner with The Lighthouse, LiveGirl, National Charity League, Grassroots and many other local charities through guest speaking events and accessibility to our programs, so our reach goes beyond our walls. All of our work has an incredible ripple effect. And you are a part of that.
As a small business owner and mother of two boys, I understand how challenging life’s curves can be, how valuable these tools are to tread a steady path and bolster our resilience. I invite you to carve out time for yourself, make a date with yourself (or a friend!) and make self-care a priority on your calendar. This is something we can invest in and we are here to support you.
All the natural light, floor to ceiling windows, the beautiful view of our garden and fountains, lightly heated floors, state of the art purification system, locker rooms, ground floor, plenty of parking add so much value to being here.
Join us to master your body and mind—to connect with yourself and, if you choose, with the wonderful people around you. Our teachers are all trained, mentored, and certified in the Sama methodology, ensuring an elevated experience - a massage for your soul.
At a time when there is so much division, we offer space to move and rest, to process and let go, from isolation to connection, to focus on all you CAN do. That’s what Sama means - same, equal, equanimity - that there’s more that unites us than divides us.
To growing together.
Warmly,
Rebekah
